Hi Mike ,

you can use ExtractIconEx

  HICON phiconSmall[1];
  ExtractIconEx(Application->ExeName.c_str() ,0,NULL,phiconSmall,1);
  Image1->Picture->Icon->Handle = phiconSmall[0];

or LoadImage

void __fastcall TForm1::Button2Click(TObject *Sender)
{
  Image3->Stretch = true;
  Image3->Picture->Icon->Handle = LoadImage(HInstance,"MAINICON",IMAGE_ICON, 
16, 16,LR_DEFAULTCOLOR );
}

Best Regards

Minas
